APUSH SEMESTER TWO CALENDAR (My apologies to the scrolling impaired.)
Welcome to our classıs tentative calendar. My intent is to update it on a daily basis, though I may be able to do so only episodically. Caveat: I may fail to make some changes. The best way to stay completely informed is to come to class.
For alignment to state standards, overarching questions, and study material, please refer to the unit overviews (hit the back button to see them).
